NEW MUSIC IS HERE. I am so excited to have finally released volume 1 of my newest project, The Acoustic Soul Recordings. These songs are a part of my heart, and we wanted to capture them in the most authentic, honest way. Though much different from my debut EP Mississippi, I think this release captures a [...]

I’ve played a lot of shows to empty rooms. I’ve played a lot of shows to people who aren’t listening. So to sit in the center of a room with a group of songwriters, surrounded by an audience that showed up to hear our original songs, is an incredibly rewarding feeling. Last weekend, I had the [...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y3SQXWEMYk Happy Friday friends! Here's a little background on the song in my newest YouTube video. I hope y'all enjoy! Subscribe to my channel so you can keep up with every new video that I post. I wrote this song as a reflection on experiences I have had, my friends have had, and I [...]

The first Ashley McBryde song I ever heard was "Girl Goin' Nowhere", and I was instantly taken by her soulful voice, eloquent songwriting, and inspirational message. That's why I was ecstatic to hear that she would be releasing a full album under the same name. Girl Going Nowhere dropped on March 31st, and my expectations [...]

I'm learning more each day that dreams are manifested one step at a time. Behind every little victory is a battlefield I had to fight through. For me, that often looks like my half-highlighted to-do lists scribbled in my planner, handfuls of partially written songs, and a constant effort to feel motivated and inspired, even on [...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuGCDiiQBHI Here's a new song for y'all! We finally got the editing done on this video, and I'm so excited to share it. I love songwriting because I love to tell stories, and this is probably one of the most "story" songs I've written so far. Somehow, the idea for a song about a boy named [...]

This past Saturday night at Hilton Tavern was one of the best nights of my life. There's no better feeling than playing my songs live with a band to a bar full of people - and when the response is positive and the crowd actually listens, well, that's the best feeling of all. Thank you [...]

It has been a HOT MINUTE since I published a Music Monday. But here I am! One of my favorite artists and most prominent songwriting influences, Kacey Musgraves, released her third album last week, and of course I had to write about it. I've been waiting for Golden Hour for what feels like forever! Right [...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1hmTKpoSmQ Hi y'all! My new YouTube video is live! I'm sorry I haven't been as active on AbundantlyKate recently. My music is my top priority, and I've been quite busy lately, which is a good thing! Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy this new song. I wrote "'Til The Day Time Ends" as a fun, [...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2WRLHmZJPY&t=3s This is one of my favorite songs I've ever written. The concept was inspired by the fact that, quite frankly, I don't write about love often. It's sprinkled here and there throughout my catalogue of original music, but overall, love and relationships have never been a driving topic for me when sitting down to [...]
